I love that in six short paragraphs I’m compelled to know what happens for the rest of the story. This is a great example of hooking a reader. The characters have very individual personalities that make them dynamic, human, and easy to care about even after reading only a short section. Love, love, love.

Hi Cheryl! Yes, this is the beginning of a novel, surely. The pace is just wonderful – I really liked the way it unwound and I can’t wait to read the next part. In one short paragraph you got me hooked on Professor Sumian. Wonderful drawing as always.

Yes, very interesting part. And you draw them all, don’t you? That must be taking a lot of time. It’s so amazing when I think how I’m buried in all duties which never end. Everything always comes first, and I get to doing what I like when I’m absolutely tired. You’re really creating great stories, thanks, enjoyed!

The blurb for Unbound Boxes Limping Gods

(Set in 4041, the first book begins on Christmas Island, Japan.) Alexand Merek is a woman who treasures "Bad Things," and delights in music. She has done something stupid, placing those she loves in danger. Women like her are not welcome in the ordinary world, where women who play piano and dance with wives are placed into, "The Bad Thing Box." Alexand must fight to bring her lost family back together to save them from an unimaginable fate. (If you would like to see this book published, please press the follow button. The writer gives life to a story, but the reader keeps it alive.)

This is for you Dad.

My stories and my world are dedicated to you, Dad. You died before I was old enough to know who you were. I will try to find you in my stories, to go to places far away from this world, to search for you. Maybe one day I'll know you again. Until then I'll keep writing.
I'll never forget you.
